Oz The Great And Powerful continued to dominate the box office with a first place finish and $42.2 million to add to its coffers. Halle Berry’s suspense thriller The Call, which had a production budget of just $13 million, exceeded expectations with $17.1 million and a #2 debut. The star power of middle aged actors Steve Carell and Jim Carrey did not translate into success for The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, as the comedy had a sub-par opening with $10.3 million and a weak third place ranking.
